12 (twelve) is the natural number following 11 and preceding 13.. Twelve is the 3rd superior highly composite number, [1] the 3rd colossally abundant number, [2] the 5th highly composite number, and is divisible by the numbers from 1 to 4, and 6, a large number of divisors comparatively.
The related but different uniform word problem for a class of recursively presented groups is the algorithmic problem of deciding, given as input a presentation for a group in the class and two words in the generators of , whether the words represent the same element of .
In the early 16th century, the Italian mathematician Scipione del Ferro (1465–1526) found a method for solving a class of cubic equations, namely those of the form x 3 + mx = n. In fact, all cubic equations can be reduced to this form if one allows m and n to be negative, but negative numbers were not known to him at that time.
Order theory is a branch of mathematics that investigates the intuitive notion of order using binary relations. It provides a formal framework for describing statements such as "this is less than that" or "this precedes that". This article introduces the field and provides basic definitions.
At the end of the 19th century, the foundational crisis in mathematics and the resulting systematization of the axiomatic method led to an explosion of new areas of mathematics. [12] [6] The 2020 Mathematics Subject Classification contains no less than sixty-three first-level areas. [13]
A line is expressed as the intersection of two planes, that is as the solution set of a single linear equation with values in or as the solution set of two linear equations with values in . A conic section is the intersection of a cone with equation x 2 + y 2 = z 2 {\displaystyle x^{2}+y^{2}=z^{2}} and a plane.
Elementary arithmetic is a branch of mathematics involving addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. Due to its low level of abstraction, broad range of application, and position as the foundation of all mathematics, elementary arithmetic is generally the first branch of mathematics taught in schools.
